Check the stickied links post - I'm pretty sure you can get it from Arryn's site, as well as others.

That pdf is a little out of date now, it is a pretty good overview.

wasn't there a pdf with the nations/themes with pictures of the units?

and thanks!

Pictures of the units?

Don't think a 150-page Pdf would have gone unnoticed by the community http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

At least, I can't remember anyone ever undertook that herculanean task http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Since he is talking about themes Im picturing something with a screen shop of the themes explanation screen, then a screen shot of the capitals recruitment screen. I dont remember if anything like that existed but it would be doable if anyone wanted to do it for the community.

I'm also quite interested in it. I don't remember any documentation like it, so I'll PM you my e-mail as well. I'll then attach it here for all to admire.

Under the advanced segment of making a post (accessable via Preview Reply), up at the top of the screen, there's a note that says "You may attach a file if you like (no bigger than 30000000 bytes please)." over a text box with a browse button next to it. Put in your file location, hit "OK, submit", and away you go.

I sent my email to you in a PM.

thanks

After reading that I disagree with Marginon being french, I think Marignon is more spanish then french, inquesition along with a theme to develope a sailors.

I haven't received the file. I might have given you a wrong e-mail address, but I'd like to think I got over that phase already (I used a wrong one for at least a year before I realized why I'm not getting any e-mail... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/redface.gif). Would you mind sending it again?

Arryn's site has 'Summoned Creature Quick Reference', is the summoned creatures file that one?

I feel it is a mixture of both, actually. Some of the names used in Marignon are clearly French, others are obviously Spanish. Marignon itself reminds me of the battle of Marignan (mostly known because of the year, 1515... easy enough to remember).

If I recall correctly, a specific branch of the Inquisition (the Papal Inquisition) was created in the 1230's, following the Episcopal Inquisition in the past century. This particular Inquisition became involved in the "putting down" of the Cathar heresy; actually, this Inquisition may have been dedicated to the suppression of Catharism in the first place. Anyhow, Catharism was going strong in parts of Spain and Southern France, among others.

The Spanish Inquisition was only to appear in the fifteenth century, shortly before Reconquista came to an end and Colombus (both happening in 1492). Portugal was also a significant country with regards to early exploration, though both were later overtaken by other countries (think of the Invincible Armada that kind of ran into some heavy trouble). I would agree that Conquest of the Seas is closer to Spain, though, especially because of the missionary part; it wasn't really the case for the other powers that came to be involved in the New World.

So, I would put Marignon between Southern France (Aquitaine excluded) and Northern Spain, with aspects of both. Some other parts of (modern) France could go with Ulm, and Man should get Aquitaine and perhaps the whole of Western France.

You could probably include the two knight orders here, with the Knights Templar being disbanded by Philippe the Third circa 1330. Throw in the papacy at Avignon, and similar mischief involving France and Rome; that does sound very much Marignonese.
